“I’m hoping next year sometime. There’s a lot required because it’s an acid trip. I’ve never read anything like it,” Gibson stated of the movie’s script, which he later added was penned by himself alongside his brother and Randall Wallace (Braveheart) over a seven-year interval. Gibson stated the movie will probably be titled The Resurrection Of The Christ.
“My brother and I and Randall all sort of congregated on this. So there’s some good heads put together, but there’s some crazy stuff,” Gibson added. “And I think in order to really tell the story properly you have to really start with the fall of the angels, which means you’re in another place, you’re in another realm. You need to go to hell. You need to go to Sheol.”
Gibson stated that he plans to re-cast Jim Caviezel within the position of Jesus. Per the movie’s title, the movie will give attention to Jesus Christ’s resurrection.

Gibson described the movie as “very ambitious” and stated the narrative strikes from “the fall of the angels to the death of the last apostle.”
“It’s about finding the way in that’s not cheesy or too obvious,” he stated. “I think I have ideas about how to do that and how to evoke things and emotions in people from the way you depict it and the way you shoot it. So I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. It’s not going to be easy and it’s going to require a lot of planning and I’m not wholly sure I can pull it off to tell you the truth, it’s super ambitious. But I’ll take a crack at it because that’s what you got to do, right, walk up to the plate, right?”
